Can I use the Atlas Scientific pH sensor and the SCK 2.2 sensors simultaneously?

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the sensors in the SmartCitizen Kit. Currently, I am using the SCK sensors (light, noise, particle size, etc.) and I want to add an Atlas Scientific pH sensor. However, when I switch to the WATER firmware, which is necessary for the pH sensor, the other sensors stop recording data.

Is it possible to use these sensors simultaneously with the Atlas pH sensor? Is there any specific configuration or firmware update that I need to perform to ensure all sensors work correctly at the same time?

Thank you for your help!

Hi! Yes, but we need to enable that on the firmware.

Here: smartcitizen-kit-2x/lib/Sensors/Sensors.h at master · fablabbcn/smartcitizen-kit-2x · GitHub we define what sensors are enabled by each configuration.

To avoid modifying the standard configurations, you can use the SCK2 build flag: smartcitizen-kit-2x/lib/Sensors/Sensors.h at master · fablabbcn/smartcitizen-kit-2x · GitHub and uncomment the sensors you want to use there. You can also bring sensors from other configurations, in case is not listed in the comments.

Here you have instructions on how to edit and compile the firmware: Editing the firmware - Smart Citizen Docs

Let us know if it works!
